After thinking about it for a while, I am starting to think that the
best policy would be to _not_ load bundled plugins by default if they
are not compulsory for the server to run. It is better to keep the
server lean and sleek, and let the user activate extra plugins if they
need them.

We could however facilitate the activation of plugins by shipping them
in separate packages (e.g. like mariadb-connect-engine-10.0 is now) so
all the user needs to do is run 'apt-get install
mariadb-mroonga-search-10.0' or similar. These packages could then
contain the plugin files itself, any configuration that need to be
dropped in /etc/mysql/conf.d/ and potentially also install/remove
scripts.

What do you think, does this sound like a good policy?
